Tour Itinerary
Mother Nature meets our Founding Fathers on this electrifying fall foliage tour through historic and bucolic New England. As you witness the blazing reds, oranges, and yellows of autumn’s turning leaves, you’ll also be introduced to the country’s early trailblazers and most curious of characters. Trace the steps of Paul Revere, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin through the storied streets of Boston. Walk the halls of Cornelius Vanderbilt’s opulent Newport mansion. Feast your eyes on the world’s largest collection of Rockwell originals at the Norman Rockwell Studio & Museum in Stockbridge. Yet no palette is as bright as the fiery leaves of the oaks, poplars, and maples that line the striking Maine coastline, adorn the rocky headlands of Acadia National Park, and shelter the quaint, covered-bridge countryside of Vermont and New Hampshire. This is leaf peeping and sightseeing at its absolute finest.

No matter where you travel, our global network of travel experts has you ready to reconnect.

With exceptional health and safety protocols and on-trip contingency plans for unexpected surprises, Globus travelers see more of the world with more peace of mind.
A SAFE & WARM WELCOMEGlobus will conduct tour check-in procedures and pre-trip health screenings to offer guests a safe start and peace of mind throughout the journey. This includes proof of vaccination for all guests.
BLENDING CULTURAL PROXIMITY WITH SOCIAL DISTANCEThere may be times on tour or on the motorcoach when social distancing is required. We will take care in assuring any local guidelines are followed in a safe and comfortable way for our guests. For any cases where masks are required due to local guidelines, we ask that guests bring their own approved N95 (FFP2) masks for their own comfort and safety. Our wireless listening technology enables safe distances between our guests and other travelers during excursions.
FOCUS ON GUEST AND TEAM MEMBER HEALTHTo ensure a healthy environment for each of our guests and our team, our Tour Directors, Local Hosts, and motorcoach drivers are fully vaccinated, and Globus is also requiring that all travelers are fully vaccinated before joining the trips. Additionally, regular guest checks are conducted, and, when required by local guidelines, masks will be worn by our guests and by our team when accompanying guests. In all other cases, masks are optional for guests.

Globus are further reducing risk with hands-free service, meaning all self-services replaced by staff, including buffet meals replaced with table service. Globus will also ensure hand sanitizing is available throughout each trip, on coach and in hotels.
COMMITMENT TO CLEANAs a part of Globus' commitment to clean, Globus is requiring enhanced cleaning procedures with hotel partners, on motorcoaches, vehicles and throughout every trip, including additional daily disinfecting procedures that go above-and-beyond already strict health and safety procedures.

Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
Two hotel/motels were not satisfactory. The bus was not satisfactory. The breakfasts were okay but so inferior compared to all four European trips we've taken (So, another unsatisfactory). For a eight day trip, at least two Dinners should offer more wine
Our Globus tour guide, Jackie, was the best - very organized and helpful
The tour was kind of rush, most of the time we have to leave the hotel at 8:00am, and we didn't have enough time to enjoy the environment e.g. Killington Grand Resort Hotel.
This was a great trip. Our guide was excellent. Our driver was super. We saw many beautiful fall colors along with visiting many interesting places.
Excellent tour. The tour guide is very knowleadgable and personable. The driver is excellent.
Loved the trip...the restaurants were good...the lodging was good, but not great. A couple were showing their age. I asked for one queen bed but had two doubles for most of the trip.
We were fortunate to have a vacation full of glorious weather and we learned during our tour that each year the news/weather stations provide TV updates on the status of peak fall foliage color. We picked the best timeframe; by chance, and were in the peak of beautiful foliage. The added bonuses to this trip for us was the amazing historic architecture and we loved looking as far as the eye could see and seeing many beautiful historic church steeples. The food in New England is wonderful. The weather was great. We met many new people and created some special friendships along the way. The tour director and bus driver did an outstanding job of explaining locations and historic significance; and provided excellent and comfortable transportation. He was great!
The accommodations were especially nice.
Wonderful trip!
I just wish that you would pay your tour director and driver more so that we are not expected to tip so highly. Most of the people who take bus trips are not wealthy and for a couple to come up with a minimum of $200 is difficult especially since the tour cost over $4000 with air fare. The director and the driver are worth a lot because they are so fantastic at what they do.
This was a great trip with a wonderful guide and bus driver. We saw some great fall colors although we were about a week ahead of the peak color.
Great tour director and bus driver. hotels were excellent
Enjoyed the services very much. Thanks.
Loved the NE Fall Foliage Tour, even though the colors were a bit muted this year due to the weather. Our tour director was knowledgeable and organized and our coach driver was helpful and courteous. This trip offered many stops along the drive through all five NE states to take in scenic views and interesting pieces of NE culture.
We had a lovely trip to new England for the fall foliage.
